• Beware scammers – Some nimrods are posing as bill collectors for TW&L, demanding people make payments lest their electricity get turned off. If I get one of these calls, I’m gonna ask the scammer if I can make the payment in person, and also how does he feel about me paying by throwing a bag of hammers at him.

• Back and forth – Chris Traylor was on the mayor’s Accountability Task Force, then he wasn’t, and now he is again. Let’s hope it doesn’t take another eight months to get this thing together.

• Kennedy staying put – Looks like Ole Miss will extend basketball coach Andy Kennedy‘s contract. Guess that seat isn’t so warm, and it really shouldn’t be. Let’s say you fire Kennedy, then the question is: Who are you gonna get that’s better? I mean, seriously?

• Craft beer volume increased again last year (Biz Buzz) – The Tupelo Craft Beer Festival is Saturday, and Dennis Seid notes that craft beer continues to grow in the U.S. It seems we are becoming more discerning beer drinkers, not so content to be persuaded by the very well-done ad campaigns by big domestic brewers, who generally make terrible beer.

• Toyota’s gotta pay up – Toyota has to pay $1.2 billion in a settlement with the U.S. government over a cover-up of safety issues. But no executives are being charged. Sounds like they need an Accountability Task Force. Or just start chopping heads at the top.

• Happy early Easter – So this metal scrap dealer buys a nice-looking egg for $14,000. Turns out it’s an authentic Faberge egg worth millions. The dealer got it at a FLEA MARKET, and doesn’t the seller feel stupid. Could’ve gotten off the flea market circuit with that kind of dough.
